About This Home

This classic upper-level 3-bedroom unit in a charming 4-unit building puts you right in the heart of one of Minneapolis's most culturally rich and walkable neighborhoods — Whittier. With hardwood floors, a lovely shared courtyard, and the kind of architectural character that only comes with age, this is a home with real personality in a neighborhood that has plenty of it. This building is also a designated Minneapolis Heritage Preservation landmark — formally recognized for its architectural significance and protected from demolition or major alteration. The character and craftsmanship you see today is here to stay.

No breed or weight restrictions. The Neighborhood: Whittier is one of Minneapolis's oldest and most culturally diverse neighborhoods, sitting at the intersection of world-class museums, one of the Midwest's best restaurant corridors, and beloved independent businesses. Here's what's right outside your door: Eat Street (Nicollet Ave) — one block west and arguably one of the best dining streets in the entire Midwest. A few standouts right on the strip: Pimento Jamaican Kitchen (Food Network's Food Court Wars winner, with legendary jerk chicken, curried goat, plantains, and a rum bar open until 2am on weekends), The Copper Hen (a beloved farm-to-table kitchen and bakery known for its award-winning brunch, from-scratch French-American comfort food, and warm farmhouse atmosphere), and dozens more independently owned restaurants serving Vietnamese pho and banh mi, East African cuisine, Mexican street food, and more. You could eat dinner on Eat Street every night for a month without repeating yourself Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia) — one of the top 10 comprehensive art museums in the United States, with over 90,000 works spanning 5,000 years — from ancient Egyptian artifacts to European masterpieces to contemporary photography. Free admission always. It is quite literally steps from your front door Electric Fetus — Minnesota's pre-eminent independent record store, founded in 1968 and still going strong just around the corner. Over 50,000 titles in vinyl, CDs, books, incense, clothing, gifts, and more. Prince was a longtime customer and made purchases there just five days before his death in 2016. There is no better music store in the state Vertical Endeavors — one of the Midwest's premier indoor climbing facilities, right on Eat Street at 26th Street. Top rope climbing, bouldering, auto belays, a full pro shop, weight equipment, showers, and a packed calendar of programs for all ages and skill levels. Open until 10pm on weekdays — a genuinely unique daily amenity to have walking distance from home Icehouse — a two-story restaurant, bar, and live music venue in a beautifully preserved industrial space that was once the loading dock of the old Cedar Lake Ice & Fuel Co., with original brick walls and wood ceilings still intact. Creative New American plates, exceptional cocktails, nightly live music from local artists, weekend brunch, and a late-night kitchen. One of the most atmospheric spaces in South Minneapolis — and it's right on your block Painter Park — a small, welcoming neighborhood green space just around the corner, perfect for a quiet afternoon outside And with Metro Transit routes running directly up Nicollet Ave, getting to downtown Minneapolis is fast and car-free.
